For immediate release
Responding to the Labour leader’s speech on a “new partnership” between government and business, John O’Connell, executive of the TaxPayers' Alliance, said:
“The Labour leader may be the only person right now who doesn’t want to return to business as usual.
“Taxpayers are desperate to get on with their lives and let the economy fire up again - protecting jobs, helping out high streets and our hospitality and leisure sectors. Disappointingly, all Sir Keir had to offer was high-minded harking back to the second world war.
“The lesson we’ve learned from lockdown is that living under state control must be a last resort, not a blueprint for the next Budget.”
